So yesterday whilst attending a fall ‘fling’ at the boy’s school, I noticed one of his friends taunting him by saying “Hey, I’m gonna tell on you”, to which he whined ‘No…. Don’t tell!!” The friend made a face and said “I’m just kidding…” Nevermind the fact that my son had no idea what the kid was going to tell on him for, much less the fact that he hadn’t done anything.
So this morning I told him I was going to teach him a neat trick. “The next time someone tells you that they are going to tell on you, look at them and say.. “AWESOME!!!””
For some reason he and his sisters apparently loved the idea so much that they decided to assist him with some practice. By breakfast I think he had it down well enough to try it out, though I wonder how naturally it will flow the first few times he attempts it. Only time will tell.. but when it happens, it’s gonna be Awesome.
